Baby Alphabet Tees

Here I am! Im back with a new status... yes I am a mum! I now live a crazy life with little time to myself (hence the lack of posts for 6 months!) This is Amelie Coco when she was about 2 weeks old.. awww...

Anyway, I have been busy making T.shirts, this started out when Amelie was born and I appliquéd a big 'A' to her vest. After lots of comments and lots of 'ooo you should make more and sell them' I thought lets give it a go! So here we go..... aaaannnnd I have an Etsy shop - check it ouuut!

They make the most perfect new baby gift or first birthday gift so spread the word and send me some orders! :)

Christmas pudding truffles

Another homemade gift... or just to enjoy yourself over the festive season!

My friend Sarah introduced me to this super easy recipe from Nigella (you can find the recipe here) I think I may have over done it slightly on the quantity of sherry, but hey its Christmas!! :)
I didn't use cherries to decorate the puddings, I used those little icing pens making it even easier!

Enjoy!

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas everyone!

Christmas Cookie Jars

So this year it's all about the homemade presents in my house. Here is a little treat for some of my neighbours and friends.

Its amazing what a simple Ikea jar and a little bit of festive ribbon can do to jazz up some dry cookie ingredients!

I must remember to mention they will need to add 2 eggs and some butter!

Heres how I did it... :)

Christmas is coming!

Here's some fun stop motions I made last year to get you in that Christmas mood!

I love dressing up the christmas tree, this was our best tree yet, it was so big I had to stand on a chair! 

   

The gingerbread house... I got a bit over excited towards the end and it all got a bit messy but it was fun!

More to come this year... watch this space!

B is for Basket

Here is a boring basket....

...and here is something a little more exciting! I saw a similar basket in Zara home (love Zara home!) but it was £30! This has cost a total of £10... winner! 

A colourful basket is a happy basket :)

Beautiful Bureau

I recently bought my first bureau from a lovely antique shop in Kent. This shop is FULL... litterally stuffed full of antiques! The minute I walked through the door I spotted the beautful bureau... I loved it! It took a total of two hours to convince my husband it was a good buy and I would make it look lovely! Finally with 10 mins before closing time we parted with the cash.

With a lick of paint or two and a pretty door knob from Zara home, it now sits in our hallway so many guests to our house can admire it!

Ahhh... our beautiful bureau :)
